Faced with a tight budget, Beane must reinvent his team by outsmarting the richer ball clubs. Joining forces with Ivy League graduate Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), Beane prepares to challenge old-school traditions. He recruits bargain-bin players whom the scouts have labeled as flawed, but have game-winning potential. Based on the book by Michael Lewis.

Scouts: "Billy, he used to play lead guitar but then jumped in to the rhythm section when they were shorthanded, why do you like him?
Billy: "Because he gets on bass"

[chrisc.]

The acting in this movie was incredible. Not just Brad and Jonah but almost everyone. So many little realistic mannerisms and subtle things going on. I was completely immersed while watching this film.

[Gabeghouls]

“Scott Hatteberg.”
“Who??”
“Exactly, sounds like an Oakland A already.”

[jamesentertainment]

"Billy, he murdered over hundreds of people and he just lost both of his legs in prison..."
"But he gets on base."

[otterinbham]

"He has an ugly girlfriend. That means he has no confidence." We quote that line all the time.

[matthinkel]

“Recreate him in the aggregate”
“The what?”
Gets me every time

[luisgabrielcaetanodiniz]

"Billy he's Barry Bonds WITHOUT a bat, we can't hire him"
"He gets on base"

[matthewsawczyn]

2:11 It's a small moment, but this is top notch cinematography and directing. Choosing to focus on the scout's reaction instead of your star Brad Pitt's delivery of the line is not the first thing most would think to do, but it really immerses us in the scene. I feel like I'm in that room

[Paraaronoid]

"Look at him, that's my Quant Pete...That's my math specialist, Yeah, I'm sure of the numbers"...Oops, wrong Michael Lewis movie.

[aison]

"Billy, he's doesn't exist. He's just an auto generated MLB The Show character in road to the show, why do you like him?"

"On base percentage is all we're looking at."

[scotts]

“He’s a defensive liability...his legs are gone.”

You’re in the American League. They have this position called designated hitter where the guy only hits and doesn’t have to play defense. Maybe try him there?

[Bobaklives]

The lead scout is a solid actor, surprised I haven't seen him featured in more movies.

[praokon]

"""U gotta carry the 1""" hahahaha i died laughing at this scene

[danielplainview]

RIP Jeremy Giambi. Condolences to his family.

[TerrillFischer]

One thing they overlook in the movie is pitching the A's had that year. Their team ERA was 3.68. They had a killer rotation with Hudon, Mulder and Zito. You'll win a lot of games with that kind of ERA.

[RobertWF]

"Bob Jenkins."
"Billy. Bob Jenkins?! He's 70 years old, missing an arm, and is blind. Why do you like him?"
"Because he gets on base."

[slater-san]

Brad Pitt spitting out that marker cap is some of the best acting of the 2010s.

[yomomma]

Billy: <writes a name on a strip and through it in the white board>

All the scouts: <gasps> Babe Ruth!?!? He’s dead!?!? Why Billy?

Billy: <points at Pete>

Pete: Because he gets on base.

[govindkrishnan]

"Billy he doesn't ever get on base"

Billy: "but he gets on base"

[Crazyjedi]

Jesus Christ Jason Giambi’s obp was almost fricken .500! Basically every other time he stepped up to bat he ended up on base that’s incredible.
